Brand new Continental Competition Pro LTD TTX tubular tire.

This particular tubular tire is the extremely rare Pro Limited version. This is a special version only supplied to sponsored pro teams, and they are normally not available in public cycling stores. This edition is the TTX with a slick centre tread, that makes the tire more faster-rolling, but with a paper-thin diamond thread on each side.

Pro Limited is considered as the holy grail of tubular tires, and even teams who are not sponsored by Continental, sometimes use them in an unbranded version for the most important races.

The main difference between the regular competition tubular and the Pro LTD is that it features a latex inner-tube, making the tire even lighter and improving grip and puncture resistance.

The TTX tubular tire is specially designed for time trials, where speed has a higher priority than durability, with higher-rebound rubber to minimize rolling resistance. The RS Profile edition is also the preferred choice for one of the world’s best cycling teams, Ineos.

These TTX tubular tires have been aged in storage for a pro team for several years, so they are therefore ready to race. Pro Team uses this process because it improves the tire’s resistance to punctures by making dry up the rubber and, thus, less able to pick up small rocks from the road.
